Ningxia is a noun that only appears in my mind in geography exams. It is the distant northwest that we need to build in the textbooks when I was a child. It is the place where the yellow sand is all over the sky and the desert is lonely in my impression... ...no I thought that one day, I would stand on this land in person, look at the rows of poplar trees standing beside the clean and spacious road, and suddenly fall in love with this city.
A few days before May 1st, I accidentally checked Ctrip for a special ticket, and Yinchuan appeared in my field of vision. My restless little heart became restless. I discussed it with my boyfriend and decided to change my original travel plan. I quickly booked the ticket and decided to go see it. In the northwest of spring, visit this somewhat mysterious city.
The date of travel is 5.1--5.3, and 5.1 is the evening flight to Yinchuan, so time is tight, and the scenic spots in Yinchuan are far away, so many places I want to go have been abandoned, so I have made a itinerary plan in advance. My friends are all sick, and the later itinerary is relatively loose and casual, which is suitable for reference for those who do not expect to have much time to play.
D1--5.1
Fly from Dalian to Yinchuan--Check in Hotel--Huaiyuan Market
▶18:20--20:50 Dalian--Yinchuan
The air ticket booked by Ctrip is 290 yuan, the price is very close to the people (there is also a 200 yuan special ticket, the time is later), it’s okay to use the special ticket, it’s really a surprise. It is worth mentioning that I bought Ctrip's super membership before, not only as a free iQiyi member, but when I bought the ticket this time, there was a VIP fast security check back and forth, which really saved a lot of time, praise.
At six o’clock in Dalian, the sun is already setting, but all the way to the west, the sky is always glowing with the warm light of the setting sun. I’m going to a city that won’t be dark~
▶Pick up
It was a bit late to arrive in Yinchuan, so I booked a pick-up on Ctrip in advance. When I bought an air ticket, I would get a large car coupon. I finally booked a pick-up and it cost 40 yuan. It was very favorable. I checked it on Didi. The fare is 135 yuan. The driver brother is a local, very enthusiastic, picked up the airport on time, and returned his business card when he got off the car, saying that if he needs a car in the next few days, he can contact him.
▶Hotel--Yinchuan Bird Light Luxury Hotel
https://hotels.ctrip.com/hotel/18551017.html
When choosing a hotel, the main areas to consider are the Xinhua Street business district and the vicinity of Ningxia University (near Huaiyuan Market). Because Virgos are slightly obsessed with cleanliness, I really spent a lot of thought on choosing a hotel. Many hotels have poor hygiene reviews. Really I couldn't accept it, so I finally chose this hotel located in Xixia Wanda Apartment, which is very close to Huaiyuan Market, and there are almost no bad reviews. Ctrip’s large-value coupons are around 240 per night, and the price is around 400 during the May Day period. The room is basically full, and the last room is booked. The room rate is usually more than 100, which is very favorable. Living in Yinchuan is not expensive.
Asuka is located on the 11th floor of Xixia Wanda. Downstairs are the reception desks of the other two hotels. At nearly 10 o'clock in the evening, the whole building is crowded with people, and it is very lively without entering the tranquility of midnight. Take the elevator to the front desk on the 11th floor, and a little girl is checking in. Because there are many people booking rooms, I booked the room on Ctrip, and I can’t specify a room. You can specify a room in Meituan, so I need to change the room the next day. Unpleasant, I didn't expect to send me a message just after entering the room, saying that the coordination has been completed and there is no need to change rooms. The communication and service capabilities are highly praised. On the day of check-out, I gave a lot of things I bought to the front desk for help with mailing. The service is great and I don't worry.
The hotel room is relatively spacious, the bathroom is clean, and there is a night light, but the wet and dry separation in the bathroom is not done well. After taking a shower, the bathroom will be full of water... The bed is very soft and the bedding is clean . The blackout curtains are great so the sun doesn't bother those who don't want to get up early. There is a water purifier in the room, it is very convenient to drink hot and cold water. The only downside is that there are not too many sockets in the room. Modern people have too many charging devices. There are two people, my boyfriend and I, and the sockets are not enough...
It is also worth mentioning that the delivery is very fast when the hotel orders takeaway...
▶Huaiyuan Market--Snack Street
Almost every city has a famous snack street. Many people will never forget a city because they love a snack street. The taste will always be the most unforgettable part in people's memory. Huaiyuan Market is located at the intersection of Huaiyuan Road and Wencui North Street. It is surrounded by many colleges and universities such as Ningxia University, Northern University for Nationalities, Ningxia University of Finance and Economics. A good place for people to spend the summer at night.
It took about 10 minutes to walk from the hotel. You don’t have to think about which direction to go. As long as you follow the flow of people, you won’t get lost. After all, the road after 10 o’clock is full of people going to the night market in twos and threes. The night in a border city in the northwest was extremely lively. Standing on the side of the road and looking at the entire Huaiyuan Market, it is really bright enough to dazzle the eyes. Checked in a few snacks from netizen Amway before, they were all good.
There are a lot of people queuing up for palace beef patties, but don’t worry about queuing for a long time. They walk very quickly and it will be their turn in a few minutes. Several big brothers in the shop are making beef patties non-stop. The few people in front bought a lot, they all bought 10 or 20, but we only bought 3.
The spicy strips are divided into large and small portions, and the small portion also has a large pack. We both ate for 3 days and didn’t finish it... Anyway, no matter whether it is a snack or a restaurant in Yinchuan, everything is very large.
Back to the hotel at nearly 12 o'clock, the road is still full of people, and the electric car of the takeaway brother is also shuttled.

Zhenbeibao Western Film City--Red Willow Branch Beach Sheep BBQ--Landmark Check-in--Visiting the Supermarket
※Original plan: Western Movie City--Ningxia Museum--Jinfeng Wanda (going to the supermarket)--Red Willow Branch Beach Sheep BBQ--The Axis of China and Arab States
※Recommended route: Sand Lake--Western Film City--Helan Mountain Along the Painting--Red Willow Branch Beach Sheep BBQ--Axis of China and Arab States
On the second day in Yinchuan, I turned on the scenic spot mode. Since both of them woke up in the morning with crazy diarrhea, maybe they had a stomach flu, or maybe they were not acclimatized. After taking away the diarrhea medicine, they were ready to go out. Because it was very uncomfortable, part of the itinerary for the day was adjusted. , relatively loose, and went back to the hotel to take a nap in the middle... Friends can refer to my original plan and recommended route to arrange.
▶Zhenbeibao Western Studios
This is a frontier fortress in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. For hundreds of years, it has stood quietly at the frontier where the yellow sand filled the sky and no one cares about it. Looking at the changes of the times and the changes of dynasties, it was a man named Zhang Xianliang who changed the fate of this place. Build it into a 5A-level scenic spot, let it reappear in people's vision, tell its history, and show the history of Chinese film from its inception to its glory. This is also the filming location of "A Chinese Journey to the West" that my boyfriend wants to see.
It is recommended to book tickets for Western Studios online from Ctrip or other platforms. You can directly scan the code to enter the scenic spot, otherwise you have to queue up at the ticket office. Have you ever seen the ticket hall of a train station during the Spring Festival travel season? The ticket office on 5.2 is even more popular than the train station during the Spring Festival travel season, and you can’t squeeze in at all. Yes, that’s right, you can’t even squeeze in the door of the ticket office! From Ctrip, book 76 one day in advance, and book 80 on the same day. Although there are not many people on weekdays, it is very convenient to book in advance, and there are discounts for student tickets.
There were too many people going there that day. You have to queue up to enter every room, and you have to queue up to take pictures. The experience is a lot worse. If there are not many people, it should be fun. There are sets of clothes everywhere in the scenic area, 20 sets, you can choose the role you want to play at will, and Zixia fairies of all ages can be seen everywhere in the scenic area.
At the entrance of the scenic spot, walk through the promenade of film and television introduction. On the right hand side is a map of the scenic spot, which explains in detail the order of recommended tours. Stroll to the left.
The famous Moon Gate is full of people inside and outside the gate. When I went there, I thought about sitting on the stairs to take a picture of soap, but the reality is really not allowed, and I shed tears.
After the Moon Gate, there is another exhibition hall similar to the Night Walk of the Ghosts. There are various ghosts painted in it, and there are introductions next to it. It is quite interesting, because they are all ghosts, so I dare not take pictures.
There are many people in the filming location of "A Westward Journey". All the scenic spots are introduced, and there is also a video playback, which makes it easy for people to immerse themselves in the scene. The male friend is very happy to find the bathhouse where the spider essence in Pansi Cave takes a bath. Tourist photos Come on.
The filming locations of "Red Sorghum" include wineries and Jiu'er's living room, etc. There are freshly brewed wine in the winery, the price is not expensive, and it can also be mailed.
This is the god of wine worshiped in the film.
Sitting in the sedan chair that Gong Li used to sit in, the seat board in the sedan chair is really hard...
There is a camel riding project in the studio, 50 people, you can ride a circle, the little brother who leads the camel will help you take pictures, except for me and my boyfriend, it seems that everyone is riding with a baby, okay, We are each other's babies too...
Tang Seng was tortured on the torture platform, the people queuing up to be tortured were all boy papers, and the people queuing up below were all girl papers waiting to be shot with soap...
There are many shops on the old Yinchuan street, where you can eat, take pictures, and there are many scenes, but there are more people, and you don’t take many pictures. If there are few people, you can spend an afternoon taking pictures.
This haggis shop is very high on Dianping. I originally wanted to try it, but there were too many people, and there was no place to wait.
In the school, my boyfriend gathered a group of children and said that he would give them lessons, but he ran away after posing for a photo. Some children asked, is get out of class over yet? lolCry...
The last one I went to was Qingcheng, where there were Niufu, the wall where Zixia and Zhizunbao stood, and Mr. Zhang Xianliang’s personal exhibition hall, etc. Because there were so many people on May 1st, there was a long queue to enter and leave the city. The place where the city gate is, is the scene where Zixia flies into the Supreme Treasure Heart, and the masks on the wall are all taken off...
In the place where Zhizunbao confessed to Fairy Zixia in the back garden of the Niu Mansion, the male friend insisted on taking a group photo, and ended up in a mode of not turning his head...
There are free explanations in the scenic area, and you can visit with a tour guide wearing an ancient knight costume, and you will gain more.
Going back to the city from the scenic spot, there are a lot of Didi special cars around, and the car is very fast. When I come back, I don’t press the car, and I go back to the hotel in less than half an hour~
! ! ! Important reminder: Do not wear white shoes when you come to the film and television city, and don’t even wear light-colored ones~ My little pink shoes have turned pink and yellow when they left, and countless tourists’ white shoes have turned into yellow shoes. The wind and sand are really big~
※How to get from the city to the film and television city? Many guides are very detailed. Yinchuan is really a city with well-developed public transportation. The bus Yousanlu basically covers the main areas of the city. There are buses departing from Crescent Square at 8:00 and 9:00. The nearest station to the hotel where I live is good, and the ticket is like 1 yuan. The nearest station to Xixia Wanda where I live is Wencui Street Station. Although I checked the detailed strategy, in the end I still took Didi Taxi, all kinds of pressed cars, and it took 1.5 hours to reach the destination, 55 yuan.

Bus Tour Three Routes:
Crescent Plaza (Departure)—Beijing Road—Huibei Lane—Yinchuan Railway Station (U-turn)—Beijing Road—Wencui Street—Xueyuan Road—Xinxiao Line—National Highway 110—Zhenbeibao West Cinema (end)
The official website updates the route map of the three-way bus tour:
▶Red Willow Branch Tan Lamb Barbecue
In the afternoon, I went back to the hotel from the film and television city for a rest, and in the evening I was going to go out for food. This barbecue restaurant is the number one barbecue restaurant in Dianping, so I went to check in specially. The nearby streets are full of barbecue restaurants, which is a bit like a small barbecue street.
Just after 5 o'clock, the outdoor seats outside the store are basically empty, and the seats inside are already very tight. We sat at the last table on the second floor. When we came out before 7:00, the open-air seats were already full, and the waiting area was also full of people waiting for seats. If you want to have dinner, you should eat as soon as possible. You can eat before going to play, otherwise Time was spent queuing and the restaurant opened at 4pm and closed at 5am. It gets dark very late in Yinchuan. It will get dark after 8 o’clock in the past few days on May Day, and it will be around 9 o’clock in July and August, so you can also come later for dinner.
The service attitude is mediocre. You need to prepare your own strategies to see what is delicious in the reviews, and ask the clerk for recommendations. Naipizi is recommended, not very sweet, very greasy, very, very, very delicious~ The red willow branch skewers are also good, and they will not be thunderous. The lamb chops are also delicious. I recommend it~ There is a beef sausage, which is very sweet. I don’t like grilled sausages, so I ate a whole bunch~ All the skewers in his house are basically 3 skewers, so those with a small stomach should think ahead What is delicious, otherwise the amount is very large and you can't finish it. Lycium barbarum seedlings can be regarded as a local specialty. You can order it and clear your mouth. I also ordered a sheep's brain, which tasted good, but I didn't eat much, and my boyfriend liked it very much. Xixia beer tastes a bit like our Dalian Kailong~
In short, this is a shop that is recommended to check in. If you have a good strategy, there is basically no minefield.
▶Landmark check-in one-stop: Nanguan Grand Mosque--South Gate Tower--Jade Emperor Pavilion--Drum Tower
After dinner, I plan to take a stroll in the Gulou commercial street. I took a taxi and got off after passing by the Nanguan Grand Mosque. A 10 yuan ticket is required for the visit. The auntie at the door is very difficult to talk to and a bit aggressive. If you stand at the door, you will be told to leave quickly. Can't enter... Later, the local Muslims said that the 10 yuan entrance fee was used to build the bathhouse in their temple... ...
Strolling from the mosque for a while, we arrived at the Nanmenlou Square. There are many people enjoying the shade in the square, and the children are running around. The local people live very comfortably~
In the same way, I saw the Yuhuang Pavilion and the Drum Tower when I was strolling around. There is a square next to the Drum Tower, and there are aunties dancing in the square. There is a fee for this...
After wandering in the commercial street of Gulou Square for a while, I decided to take a taxi back to the supermarket downstairs of the hotel and stroll. The commercial street is still very lively at night, with stage performances. On the way back to the hotel by taxi, I came across a landmark building in Phoenix. There was a phoenix spreading its wings on it.
Downstairs of Xixia Wanda is China Resources Vanguard. The mall closes at 10 o’clock. When we went, the supermarket had a promotional discount. It’s still 50 yuan off 200 yuan, which is very cheap anyway. There are local goji berries in the supermarket. Goji berries and eight-treasure tea are not expensive. I bought some and had them mailed back by the front desk of the hotel. It was very convenient.
The local dairy products are Xiajin and Jinhe. I grew up drinking Xiajin’s sweet milk. I finally came to Xiajin’s hometown. I was so excited that I bought all the yogurts that looked delicious~ I just went to a city Going to the supermarket to buy yogurt and drinks is one of my hobbies~ After making these yogurts, my dreams tonight will be sweet~

Ningxia Museum--Little Leaf Grab--Mingcui Lake National Wetland Park--Yinchuan to Dalian
▶Ningxia Museum
Going to a museum in a city is one of my must-do homework. Yinchuan is a provincial city with a provincial museum. It was really full of expectations. Although it was a bit disappointing, this museum still recommends friends who are new to Yinchuan to learn about it.
Arrived at the museum after 10 o'clock, and there were many buses parked at the entrance. At first glance, it seemed to be a free item for the tour group... I wanted to find a paid explanation, but there were so many people that there was no spare guide. The bag storage place is on the shelf next to the front desk. It’s a bit like the bag storage area in the supermarket when I was a child. There are so many people that I don’t have any cards in my hand. I put them in and pick them up casually. To be honest, it’s not safe at all~ The reception capacity of the museum’s front desk needs to be rated badly. , the attitude is not very good. There are many volunteers in the museum doing explanations. The form is pretty good, but the level of explanations is really limited. There are free guide equipment available for rent at the front desk.
It took about 2 hours to walk around the entire museum. The main exhibits are displayed in the exhibition hall on the second floor. The first floor is mainly for the display of stone carvings and Ningxia's history. The upstairs is some contemporary exhibits and temporary exhibitions.
▶Little Yeliang Hands (Jiefang East Road store)
After reading Dianping, there are Guoqiang Hands, Lao Mao Hands, and Xiaoyeliang Hands, which are more famous in the local area. I saw a young lady in the comments saying that Babao Tea is delicious, and I bought some back. , so I specially chose this restaurant to eat Northwest cuisine.
When I arrived at the store at noon, there were many people, but there was no need to wait for a table. There were empty tables. Many local people were eating, and they were like families. Several tables were filled with old people and children. After being seated, no one came over to entertain with menu cards. It was later discovered that there may be only one menu card in the entire store. Do your homework.
I ordered three kinds of meat, each serving can be half a catty. Two people ordered one and a half catties of meat, but they didn’t eat much. The fat part was thrown away. It was really greasy and uneatable, especially It is eaten cold and greasy. Personally, I like to eat hot and lean ones. The mutton does not have any smell.
I ordered a shredded eggplant. I thought it was a cold dish, but when it came out, I found it was a hot dish, and it was too oily. Well, I couldn’t eat it...but this eggplant is super purple, and it grows so big. I haven’t seen it before. Such a purple eggplant, I don't have it in the Northeast.
The signature noodles are a bit lumpy when they come out. I don’t know if I have prepared a lot of meals in advance. The stir-fried pork with green peppers is very fragrant, but it is a big bowl, and two people can’t finish it.
I also ordered 2 oil towers. This is delicious, delicious, and delicious. I almost want to pack 2 back...
The shop sells eight-treasure tea and wolfberry. I bought several packs of eight-treasure tea, 10 yuan and 12 yuan a pack. The rock sugar is very large, so it is very sweet and delicious.
▶Mingcui Lake National Wetland Park
Because Mingcui Lake Park is very close to the airport, it was arranged to be the last stop of the trip to Yinchuan, and we took a taxi there after lunch.
I have always liked to go to the park, which seems to be quite rare for people my age. Generally, people who are a little older like to go to the park. At first, I liked to see the old grandpa holding the old grandma in the park. Later, I felt that the park is a place full of In the place of vitality, there are children running and chasing, as well as aunts and uncles who are still working hard to live and exercise in their old age. People who love life gather in the park.
The impression of the Wetland Park has always stayed in the Xixi Wetland in Hangzhou. The antique layout, the dense green plants and the river are intertwined and hidden. It is a good place to stay for a day. The air is fresh and the scenery is charming, so I have an idea. In the future Go to all the wetland parks.
Mingcui Lake Park is more modern than Xixi Wetland. There are not so many plants, but more modern entertainment projects, such as children's water parks, water sports, cruise ships, etc. This is a very modern developed park. Recreational water park.
On the right hand side of entering the gate is the ticket hall. On the day I went there, there were too many people, so the sale of package tickets was stopped. The tourist attractions in Yinchuan are really not good at peak reception. This is the biggest feeling of my trip, so I recommend it Everyone chooses off-peak travel. There is a paid deposit box at the bathroom exit of the ticket hall. Although it costs money, this is really convenient. Scan the code to access the bag. When you enter the scenic spot, there is a bicycle rental place. There are a variety of bicycles for you to choose from. There are 2-person, 3-person, 4-person bicycles, various models, very user-friendly, and you can pay by WeChat. There are also battery tour buses in the scenic area, and you can buy a ticket to get on and off at the designated location.
My boyfriend and I rented a 4-person car, and we drove towards the depths of the park. There are water sports by the lake, free to play, and prizes, but if you are not careful, you will fall into the water, so we didn't participate. I bought a ticket for the electric boat and set sail. The boats include pedal boats, electric boats, cartoon boats, and cruise ships, which can also be paid by WeChat.
My boyfriend drove the boat, and I sat on the side, happily enjoying the comfort of floating in the reeds under the sun. The depths of the reeds are very quiet, so quiet that you can clearly hear the chirping of birds and insects in the bushes, and there are toads jumping around in the water from time to time. An hour of quietness flies by quickly, and it is also good for the body and mind to let go of yourself once in a while~
Regrettably, I originally thought it was a scene like Monet's oil painting, but the time was not up, and the lotus hadn't bloomed yet, which made me miss the beautiful and stunning lotus. I hope to have the opportunity in the season when the lotus blooms Come visit again. Put a piece of soap flakes taken by a netizen that I especially like.
There is an exhibition hall of the wetland park in the park, and there is a sand table of the national wetland park. I hope to have the opportunity to check in one by one in the future. The 11th floor, the highest floor of the exhibition hall, can overlook the entire wetland park at 360 degrees. Friends who come to the park must come and see it.
After playing for about 2 hours, we chose a road with few people and walked out from the park. The whole journey was very quiet. We rode the bike with the wind blowing, as if riding back to the school days when we were fifteen or sixteen years old. We were very happy.
There are tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, and strawberries at the entrance of the park. This strawberry is very small and its name is Chocolate. There are only Jiujiu and Milk Strawberries in Dalian. Out of curiosity, I bought a bucket, 35 a bucket, okay, no It's so delicious, a little sour, not as good as the milk strawberries in our hometown.
▶18:50--21:25 Yinchuan--Dalian
The return plane drove very fast, and I got off the plane before 9 o'clock. I have already made an appointment to pick up the plane in advance. I booked it on Ctrip, a large coupon, 0 yuan~
Yinchuan is a place I want to go again. I haven’t gone to Shapotou for sand boarding and camel riding, I haven’t seen the origin of Shuidonggou civilization, I haven’t seen the lotus in the pond, and I haven’t eaten small noodles and Liangpi.. ...
